![]() ![]() I want my sub to feel comfortable telling me about them, not what they think I want to hear. ![]() ![]() There are definitely a number of items on the checklist that I do not offer at all, or that I do not engage in with everyone. In part this is because I have a wide range of interests and skills, but this is not the only reason. You’ll notice on my checklist that there’s a pretty wide variety of activities represented. The combination of answers I’m presented with gives me better questions to ask when it comes time to negotiate. It helps me know where they’re at-are they new to the activity, do they have notes about whether it’s something they only do with people they have particular chemistry with… you get the idea. I ask them to rate: by experience level-never tried, tried but not enough to fully evaluate, or experienced by how much they enjoy the activity-0-5 by whether or not the activity is a limit, a curiosity of theirs, or a valued part of play for them to let me know if the activity is a fetish or something they feel they want to be “forced” to do in order to get over their nerves to try and finally I offer space for notes and questions.Īll of this information gives me a much clearer picture of how my partner feels about an activity, than if they’d simply said, “I rate such-and-such activity as a 3”. In my checklist I ask people to rate each activity in a number of different ways in order to get a more comprehensive idea about how my sub actually experiences each activity. It’s important to remember though that people interpret different terms differently, and one person’s idea of what “medium masochism” is might be wholly different than another’s.Īlongside the long list of activities to be rated, there are often a few ways each activity can be rated. This is so the person filling it out can do so as clearly as possible, and the person reading it can interpret their answers relatively accurately. How to use a BDSM checklist: At the top of most comprehensive checklists you’ll find definitions about what words mean and instructions about how to fill the pages out. Feel free to download, edit, update, change, and utilize the list for yourself: It’s not an exhaustive list in the least bit, but I think it’s a pretty good start and it works for me rather well. ![]() My list is based off a few I’ve used in the past, with various bits taken off, added on, recategorized, redefined, and with slightly different options than I’ve found on some. I’ll try to update the file link when I think of it in the future. That’s just the nature of this ever-evolving beast. I know I’ll be refining it as long as I use it. Today I’m sharing a BDSM checklist that I’ve put together. Certainly it’s impossible to develop an exhaustive list of things to try, but even still some lists cater more towards styles of play I enjoy, and some are far from useful to me specifically. There are some I find to be too complicated, and others too simplistic. Sometimes I get annoyed that a checklist’s language is different from what I’m used to, or the list comes off as too heteronormative or less than gender inclusive. You can find a bunch of them online, and over the years I’ve found examples which work more or less to my satisfaction. A helpful tool I frequently use with new subs and trainees is the BDSM checklist. ![]()

![]() ![]() However, virtually no literature exists on the usefulness of the ecomap with non-Western cultures. Helping professionals from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand have written about the value of utilizing family diagrammatic tools with families. Two such resources are "Ecotivity" by Wonderware and Mattaini's software companion to "Visual Ecoscan for Clinical Practice." In recent years, new computer software allows professional helpers to develop computer-generated diagrammatic assessments such as ecomaps and genograms. Although originating in social work, the use of this tool spans disciplinary boundaries literature on nursing, psychology, law, and other disciplines salutes the usefulness of family diagrammatic tools. Other social workers who have joined Hartman in refining the ecomap include Joan Laird and Mark Mattaini. Since its creation, the ecomap has been used in a variety of practice settings. ![]() The concept quickly became popular with family therapists in the United States and the United Kingdom. The social worker Ann Hartman first introduced the ecomap in 1978 in her article "Diagrammatic Assessment of Family Relations." Hartman's work evolves from the school of family theories known as family systems theory, which grew out of the general systems theory applied to sciences such as physics, biology, and anthropology. This empowers families to know where to begin making changes. Using the ecomap, the therapist and family can identify the external relationships that are nourishing, as well as those that are wounded. Arrows indicated direction of energy flow and conflicted or broken relationships may be represented by interrupted lines. For example, a solid line may indicate a strong and healthy relationship, while a diffused line represents a weaker tie. Standard symbols are used to express energy that flows from a person or family to other important people and institutions. ![]() The ecomap diagram consists of circles, lines, and arrows (see Figure 1). Identifying these connections clarifies and organizes data on a family's environment highlights energy that flows into and out of the family and raises issues such as network size and stability, reciprocity of relationships, and access to or deprivation of available resources. As the name signifies, therapist and client together map out connections between the family and its ecological environment. The ecomap, also called a sociogram, is a visual assessment tool depicting the relationships between a family and its social network. ![]() ![]() ![]() A typical use of the NATO Phonetic Alphabet would be to spell out each letter in a word over the phone by saying, for example: "S as in Sierra" (or "S for Sierra"), "E as in Echo, Y as in Yankee, F as in Foxtrot, R as in Romeo, I as in India, E as in Echo, D as in Delta" to communicate the spelling of the name "Seyfried" correctly.These are used to avoid misunderstanding due to difficult to spell words, different pronunciations or poor line communication. Spelling alphabets, such as the NATO Phonetic Alphabet, consists of a set of words used to stand for alphabetical letters in oral communication. ![]() The NATO Phonetic Alphabet is instead a spelling alphabet (also known as telephone alphabet, radio alphabet, word-spelling alphabet, or voice procedure alphabet). If students are not demonstrating 90-100 mastery on a spelling test, their words and words sorts need to be accommodated to a lesser difficulty. Phonetic alphabets are used to indicate, through symbols or codes, what a speech sound or letter sounds like. Ten words are the recommendation for the maximum number of words on a spelling test, and it is highly recommended that spelling tests are differentiated to accommodate each individual speller.
![]() ![]() One last thing… Without Extensions like Artisan, Vertex Tools, SubD, etc I personally would not be using SketchUp. Why because if not I was afraid it would stop being developed.Īnyways, I really hope this tool is a monetary success for the devs because I want it to be further developed in the future and not have to stop because of a lack of resources. Else they will go extinct, that is why I was more than ok for SketchUp itself to move to the subscription model. If you look at other software then you will see almost all of them are moving to subscription. Now I dedicate less time to developing my tools which are going to be available as a subscription as well by the way. Instead, I have to use my time to work on jobs not related to SketchUp so I can support myself. I myself have had to stop developing plugins full-time because I was not able to make enough money selling them. I have seen this before on an Animation Plugin named ‘SimFonIA Animation Tools’ which was great but the developers had to stop because of lack of resources I suspect. The REAL problem I see is that developers would STOP developing SketchUp extensions because of a lack of resources and support from users not wanting to spend money on their work. $8.25 a month for Artisan is less than what you spend on food each day. So if you look at it that way subscription is not that different. For example, we went from Vertex Tools to Vertex Tools 2. What normally happens with the “Perpetual” license is that at the end of the year, the extension releases a new version. It is NOT fair for developers to dedicate many years working for us to only pay just $30 to $40 bucks. When it comes to software it makes sense it is a subscription because the developers constantly work on the code and customer support. ![]() Supports 3 axes modes (Local, View, World).New Tool-based UI to easily select the plane using inferencing.New Scale Tool UI similar to native SketchUp scale. ![]() Added automatic quad auto-folding and repair to maintain quads during transform operations.Added ability to transform FFD control points.Added ability to lock axis inference using arrow keys.Added 3 axes modes (Local, View, World) - use ALT to switch mode.Added ALT modifier to control whether hidden vertices are excluded from window selection.Added support for FFD control point selection.Added support for edge loop selection via double-click.Simply click the Symmetry button to create a mirrored component for symmetrical sculpting. Square bracket keys can now be used control brush size instead of left and right arrows.Added toggle switch for displaying edges.Added ability to easily lock the boundary vertices using toggle switch.Added ability to set brush size in screen space (pixels).Automatically add detail when sculpting (dyntopo).Added ability to perform a series of connected cuts.Added ALT key modifier to control whether to cut through back-faces.Extrude tool now manipulates live geometry in real-time.Added free extrude modifier to extrude in any direction.Added 3 extrude modes including individual, group, and normal.Huge improvements to extrude tool to allow for extruding quads, surfaces, and multiple groups of faces simultaneously.Improved crease tool for assigning weighted creases to edges and vertices.Improved subdivision workflow in general.Now using OpenSubdiv library for subdivision operations to provide faster performance, and support for weighted creases.Quads are maintained after Artisan tool operations. Added SketchyFFD mode to enable deformation of a mesh using a control cage.Added Make Symmetrical Tool to easily create a symmetrical copy of the selected geometry.Added Bridge Tool to generate quads between two selected loops.Added Loop Tool to edit and create loops.Here are the most notable improvements in version 2: ![]() ![]() ![]() Extra Turns / 2 = Extra Turns on Left and Right sides of front dowelĮxample: On this yellow chair the front had 85 turns and the back 69 turns so I needed to account for a 16 turn difference.Turns (front) - Turns (back) = Extra Turns to be made on Front.This is the number of extra turns you need to make up on the left and right side of the front dowel so the center will be straight. Subtract the number of turns across the back dowel from those on the front dowel to find the difference between them. Since the front is wider you must add more turns on its left and right sides so the center of the pattern will run straight from back to front. Using the number of turns on the front and back dowels, you need to (a) account for width difference between front and back and (b) determine how many groups of 4 cords you will make.Īccount for width difference. Lay out the "front-to-back" pattern (yellow). Try to wrap evenly and snuggly for best results. It's worth the time to quickly wrap each side and get a good count. I tried to estimate this by wrapping a few inches and then multiplying by the length (pic 2). In essence of time, I suggest wrapping around and around the entire length of the back dowel, front dowel and one side to get an accurate count of turns. ![]() You can always add more cord on the bottom side so it's not critical to be exact.įirst find out how many turns you'll be making on each side. This is a good estimate for similar sized chairs. ![]() The yellow & black chair measured 10.5" on each side, 13" front and 11" back and required 110 ft of yellow cord and 165 ft of black cord. Start by measuring all four sides of your chair. Most chairs will be similar in size, however variations will affect paracord usage. The only tricky part of this project is spacing the weave pattern evenly although it's pretty easy. ![]() ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() In modern times most people think of Hatha Yoga as physical exercise. Mudras are applied in the whole body, in the hands, the tongue or the eyes.Īll practices are in the service of awakening the Kundalini, the infinite power residing in every one of us. Similarly Mudras help the subtle energy to flow and activate certain regions in your body and your brain. While they are part of Hatha Yoga practice they are applied during Asana as well as during Pranayama practice. Bandhas, Mudras and Kundalini awakeningīandhas are energy locks you use to let the Prana flow into the wished for direction. ![]() It´s also a preparatory step for Meditation, the ultimate goal of Yoga practice. Even more you learn how to focus on the flow of Prana and clean your Nadis. With those exercises you learn how to control the mind with your breath. Pranayamaīreathing techniques are a crucial part of Hatha Yoga practice. They activate your Chakras (energy centers) and shift the flow of energy. Asanas activate the energy centers in our bodies and channelize the flow of Prana (life force) through our Nadis (energy channels).

With balancing your active and passive energies in your body you bring yourself into a healthy equilibrium. The goal is to become a wholesome being, in harmony and without any disturbances. The word describes already what the purpose of Hatha Yoga is: balancing your Solar and Lunar energies, your male and female attributes in your body and your mind. Ha, meaning the solar energy and fire and Tha meaning moon energy. The meaning of Hatha in Sanskrit is often translated as force or power, yet this word is made up of two words. So, let´s shine a light on the background and origin of this Yoga Practice: Meaning of Hatha Yet there is only a little understanding of what this deep practice of Yoga really means and how to approach it.

The Square option does is similar to Simple, but provides you with the square root of the accumulated colors instead of the average. The Simple option takes all similar colors divides them by the number of units and gives displays the result of the average. The second setting that you can tinker with is the algorithm and what it does is process your color selection differently. There are five options in total to chose from including 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1 which will display an image in its full size. The first option that you will see below your image is the image scale which will make your image larger or smaller depending on your choice. Your color will be displayed under the image, as well as HEX code, RGB values, and HSL percentages. After all the settings are adjusted to your preferences, simply move the mouse over your image, and click the space from which you want to pick a color. Once you have your image, you are faced with a few different settings which will help you to pick your color more accurately. To do this, you can either click on the empty rectangular space and chose an image from one of your folders, or simply drag and drop the image into the rectangle. To use the Image Color Picker, you will first need to upload an image from which you want to choose a color. The process will result in your color being displayed along with additional information about that color including the HEX, RGB, and HSL values. The tool allows its user to upload an image to the website and then pick out a single color from it while being able to tweak the image scale, the picker algorithm as well as the picker size. Image Color Picker is one of many versatile tools on the ColorDesigner website that anyone can use completely free of charge. ![]() ![]() ![]()
